Dignity at the Capital.

Originally. it is said in history. the
United States senate was very dignified
body: lis members were returned for
many successive terms; they were men
who belonged to the old colonial aristoc-
racy, which held itself aloof from and
above the people as distinctly as the land
ed gentry does to-day in England. The
tradition of this has descended: much Of
the dignity, it is true, has .cvaporated,
but the recollection of the personal con-
sideration still fingers, and the women Of
the family make the most Of il. 1t is
amusing TO watch some of these ladies'.
Many arrive in Washington knowing
nothing Of the social usages that prevail
there; ignorant of the very meaning Of
precedence; not aware that people ever
go in to dinner in any peculiar order or
with any significance. They wear high
bodied gowns and unfashionsble gloves
when they first dine out and make their
husbands put on yellow cravats TO "look
like other men," But all this changes in
a single season. Before the end Of the
first session they learn 10 get their gowns
from Paris and their gloves fr0m-who-
ever is the most the mode: while about
the etiquette of visits and the place they
insist on al table they are as infcxible as
If they had been born at the White
House and never been out of sight of the

The American bank bill has followed
the form Of the American letter envelope.
For paper money. il paper money must
be used. il is the most convenient posi-.
BILE. But there is a prejudice against
that form in Europe. The notes of the
Bank of England and the Bank of France
are scarcely less in size than an old fash
ioned blanket newspaper sheet. 4 draft
given by an English or French bank is
still larger. Your tailor in Paris gives
you receipt that, after several times
folding. you manage TO cram il into your
pocketbook. A queer idea of business
attaches To these huge pieces of paper.
They will tell YOU that small drafts. bank
bills and receipts do not look business

ness or not, il is desirable To make a show

In speaking of the refusal Of Com
missioner Sparks to pay the certificate
of one John Benson for alleged gov
ernment surveys, the San Francis' o
Examiner. after endorsing the action
of the commissioner, charges that tie
federal treasury has been robbed Of
many millions of dollars through the
medium of alleged land surveys In
that state alone. IL says there are
thousands OF acres of public lands in
California which have been reported
10 the department Ms surveyed, and
the mon ey drawn for IL, on which n
line has never been run or slake set.

period Of ten years. at an expense to

day in a condition so confused and
unintelligible that nearly three-fifths
of the ground will have to be gone
over again. and maps and plsts re-
quIred to be made, at q cost of perhaps
millio rs of dollars. The condition Of
the surveys In Oregon, Washington

many cases believed to be equally

REPRESENTATIVE CURTAIN recent
ly introduced in the house Of repre-
s~entatives a bill for the erection Of a
national memorial bridge over the Pc
tomac river, at Washington, d. c., q
local paper In reference to this project
thus discusses IL: "The bill proposes
the erection Of q bridge TO be construct.
ed substantially according to the plans
submitted to Congress by Captain #.
w. Symons. engineer, aud Messrs.
Smithmeyer and Pelz, architects, and
appropriates five hundred thousand
dollars to commence its construction.
The plan, A. published, cannot be ex.
celled for grace. beauty and utility.
Captain SYMBOLS ability as an engi-
neer is well known, while Mr.. Smith
meyer has so often demonstrated the
possession Of the highest and most pc.
etic architectural power that no tx
tended notice Of his work is necessary
to convince the world that il cannot
be surpassed. Both the engineer and
architect in this case have produced n
magnificent plan, one which will add
peculiar beauty to our beautiful city,
aud cannot fail TO remain always u
landmark of graceful adornment to
the federal capital. But one thing re-
mains TO be done-the passage Of the
bill. A monument 10 Grant IN the
capital Of the country he saved, Is so
peculiarly appropriate that Congress
is already committed to the project,
while a monument Of such great util.
ity and Of such exquisite beauty not
only fulfls all the requirements of pat
riotism, but enlists on its behalf all
the devotees Of true art. The bill pro-
poses that the work shall be done un.
der the supervision VI u commission
composed Of the Secretary of War, the
Chief Justice of the United States, the
Chief of Engineers, U. S. A., n Senator
and a Repre- sentative. We presume of
course, that the energetic aud accom-
plished engineer, Captain Symous.
will be the constructing engineer, In
which case the beautiful conception Of
the architect will be speedily realized
into material shape and substance"
